possible functions of the sinuses include:
1. air conditioning
2. pressure damping
3. reduction of skull weight
4. heat insulation
5. flotation of skull in water
6. increasing the olfactory area
7. mechanical rigidity
8. vocal resonance and diminution of auditory feedback
9 There are four pairs sinuses, the maxillary is largest, then frontal ,ethmoidal and sphenoidal is ( below eye sockets) is to provide mucous and act as a resonance chamber for sound +lighten weight of the skull.
10. mucous glands moisten the air ciculating between the conchae, if fluid does not drain , this causes sinuses headache.
The sinuses help to lighten the skull, provide resonance to the voice, insulate sensitive structures like the eyes and brain, produce mucus to trap foreign particles, and humidify and filter the air we breathe.
They have two main functions: 1) As in all sinuses, they give size without added weight and 2) They give depth to the voice. You have the para nasal sinuses, assembled around your nose. You have maxillary sinuses, frontal sinuses, ethmoid sinuses and sphenoid sinuses around your nose. These sinuses make the area around your nose, very light in weight. The diagonally opposite part of the skull is thick and heavy. That is occipital bone for example! This has an evolutionary advantage to human being. After deep inspiration, you can float in the water, without any efforts. So these para nasal sinuses has helped you to keep your nose out of water. The opposite thick part of the skull help you in this endeavour. You can very easily understand the importance of your nose in water verses your nose out of water. That is the reason, why the para nasal sinuses are assembled around your nose. All the other advantages are accessory, probably.
Sinusitis (sye-nuss-EYE-tiss) means inflammation of the sinuses or, more specifically, the lining of the sinuses. Inflammation of the sinuses means infection in the sinuses which causes frontal headaches and nasal discharge. There are two sinuses called maxillary sinus which are in the cheek bones and frontal sinus and para-nasal sinuses around the base of the nose. You may require antibiotics, nasal decongestants, antral washouts and sometimes surgery to treat difficult cases.
Yes, the sinuses and ears are connected through a passageway called the Eustachian tube, which helps equalize pressure between the two areas.
The ear and sinus are connected through the Eustachian tube, which helps regulate pressure in the middle ear. Issues in the sinuses, such as infections or inflammation, can affect the Eustachian tube and lead to ear problems like ear infections or hearing issues. Overall, the health of the ear and sinuses are interconnected and can impact each other's functions.

If your sinuses are effected by a navel piercing that would make you a candidate for the Guinness world book of records. There is no way your sinuses would be effected by a navel piercing the two don't event come close to each other. Your sinuses are in your head, that's the cavity covered by your nose. So relax there is no danger of the two bothering each other.
dural sinuses, cerebral sinuses, or cranial sinuses
The function of the pulmonary sinuses is to separate both of the semilunar cusps that are in the pulmonary trunk valve. They forma think wall between the two.
Only if the two functions really represent the same function.
Paranasal sinuses are a group of four air-filled spaces. Maxillary sinuses surround the nasal cavity, frontal sinuses are above the eyes, ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes and sphenoid sinuses are behind the eyes.

You may require antibiotics, nasal decongestants, antral washouts and sometimes surgery to treat difficult cases.
The biological role of the sinuses is debated, but a number of possible functions have been proposed:Decreasing the relative weight of the front of the skull, and especially the bones of the face. The shape of the facial bones is important, as a point of origin and insertion for the muscles of facial expression.Increasing resonance of the voice.Providing a buffer against blows to the face.Insulating sensitive structures like dental roots and eyes from rapid temperature fluctuations in the nasal cavity.Humidifying and heating of inhaled air because of slow air turnover in this region.
Yes, the sinuses and ears are connected through a passageway called the Eustachian tube, which helps equalize pressure between the two areas.
The paranasal sinuses (which surround the nose) are found in the following bones: frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary. The maxillary sinuses are the largest of all sinuses. There are also sinuses found near the mastoid process of the temporal bone called the mastoid sinuses. The mastoid sinuses communicates with the inner ear, whereas the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity.
